Christmas Cookie List!

Christmas cookies are the best.  There is something about a Christmas chocolate chip cookie that tastes different then when made on another day.  Just like the Hershey Kisses in the red, green and silver taste different than just the all silver ones-they taste like... Christmas!

I always end up making way too many Christmas treats but I just cannot help myself.  This year I think I am making my standards.   I try to wait as long as I can to make them so we don't end up with stale cookies. 

To stay organized I've gathered all my recipes and have made a potential schedule of when I am making the cookies. I have it spread out over three days and I've prioritized as to which cookies last the longest-making those first.  I've made a shopping list for any ingredients I need.  This, my friends, is my cookie list:

Peanut Butter Balls (dark and milk chocolates)
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Kiss Macaroons (like the pb blossoms just macaroons instead of pb cookies)
Chewy M&M cookies (red and green M&M's of course)
Chocolate Chip Cookies (a staple)
Almond Crescents

So see-just a few batches this year.  I added the M and M cookies at the last minute since I had a coupon for a bag of holiday M and M's.  Plus they are soooo good! 

I am all set for baking!  I plan to start this weekend and then getting the rest done on my day off next week (I took off the day after the Dave Matthews concert-wahoo!) 

What's better than baking and dancing around the kitchen to Christmas music!?!
